Been drinking a fifth of whiskey a day for the last 6 years.
Weening myself off the last couple months. Gonna hit up an AA meeting after work monday.
How is life treating you shitbags?
Anyone got good stories?
>>7772014
I puked on some asian kid one time
>>7772003
proud of u anon don't chicken out u owe it to urself
i hit a kid with my car while i was in a blackout
the only upside was that he was mexican
Whiskey tastes like wood. Absolutely gross
>>7772048
Stick tor your Mikes Hard Lemonade faggot
>>7772003
>going to an AA meeting
Enjoy your over cafinated cry fest. You can recover without that bs Anon.
>>7772003
Still drinking. Going to die eventually. I'm pretty well to do for being a chef. Cook for celebrities. I have 2 daughters and a.wonderful wife. But all I think about when I'm at work or off is catching a buzz.
Booze
Weed
Heroin
Coke
Ugh God I'm miserable
>>7772062
I'm miserable to senpai
in regard to your comment though. My dream is to cook for a celebrity once before I die.....anyway to do this without being a known chef in your city?
>>7772062
I'm a very shitty person, to the point where I hate myself intensely. But I can't imagine staying addicted to shit if I was selfish enough to have children.
Supposed to be quitting altogether due to a big and positive change in my life and all I can think of is going to the store right now.
Just end me.
I collapsed at work a couple of weeks ago, and they cut my hours. Detoxing fucking sucks.
>>7772099
Switch to beer and wine only. You'll have much less drama in your life
>>7772103
I drink wine based sherry as it is the cheapest liquor available. Or at least I used to. I collapsed from detoxing.
>>7772114
Weird. I been to rehab thrice and the Alkies were always liquor drinkers
>>7772035
Thanks m8, took a good half year to get to this point. Hopefully this helps.
What happened to whoremel niggaroni did he die?
>>7772055
AA failure rate is above 90%
It's methods and philosophy is from the 1930s. Europe has developed much more sucessful techniques but USA is still stuck using old techniques that don't work.
Get help but not through AA

CandIan blends taste like nothing, if you mix with cola or something, you won't taste anything but the mixer.
>>7772125
prolly got stabbed by some drunk injun in the parkin lot of the rib shack in oklahoma or something lmao :D
>>7772089
Don't go to the store, fill your belly with water anon.
>>7772118
I think it was a convenience and price thing. The closest store to me sells wine, and wine based sherry. It's close and cheap, so I'd buy that. I live in Canada, so alcohol is restricted to where it can be sold.
>>7772126
Can't tell you how many times I saw desperate alcoholics go in an AA meeting. After about half an hour they realize it won't help th at all. The disappointment is palpable.
Source: rehab van driver. I manage alcohol on my own. Tried AA years ago but it's worthless.
been sober two and a half months, damn i want a fifth of anything 80 proof lmao :D
>>7772136
Stay true to your course anon, don't need anyone dying on my al/ck/ thread.
>>7772135
"You are a moral fail, feel it and wallow in it and apologize for it and find jebus"
>am functioning alcohol
>currently buzzed
>also need to quit/cut back/develop a more healthy relationship with, but won't be shamed into doing so
>>7772155
I have found that staying busy, ESP with work, makes drinking a second thought. Often I'm just tired after work and sleeping has more appeal than drinking
>gf breaks up with me last year to get back with her ex
>go full alcohol mode
>finally getting my shit together and not drinking
>she contacts me last month, I'm still in love with her
>get my hopes up again
>get dropped again
welp, cheers bros
>>7772062
I'm sorry Anon. The thing is, life is hard. And despite the fact that we all get the brunt of it, we all feel it, we rarely talk about it, and deal in our own ways. You're going to see them girls get married. *manly hugs*
>>7772186
You gonna post this in every al/ck/ thread, m8? I feel for you, but we know.
>>7772197
I'm still depression drinking over it, so ya probably
>>7772210
dude, just stick something else; even if it's a disgusting landwhale or a hooker; you faggots w/ oneitis man, good good
>>7772222
I'll respect the trip-quads and take that advice. Problem is I don't really have any friends, I've never bought a hooker before though
>>7772222
I think you should listen to Mr. Trip Quads; as lord Kek has shown that he has great knowledge.
Apparently tea and brandy is delicious, anyone tried it?
>>7772233
Is this meme magic happening. Trip Dub Dub's reinforced Trip Quads advice
>>7772003
Suntory time, every time?

body started hurting today
>>7772186
Again? You post this every al/ck/ thread. Get your life together m8.
>>7772249
Drink some pedialyte. Fix you right up
>>7772222
I was just looking at them when you called. I never would have guessed sevens and twos.
a fifth a day you say, OP?
>>7772255
>implying anyone in an anonymous alcoholic thread on a Japanese imageboard have their lives together
>>7772256
i drink plenty of water to balance it out
i lied because i thought it was funny, have really been eating terrible foods while also being drunk every day past 5 days
sorry
>>7772256
didn't lie about body hurting tho
have been going through long periods of being drunk a lot before but never ended in feeling this shit
>>7772264
Water doesn't "balance it out". You piss out necessary electrolytes during drinking. A major element of hangovers is electrolyte depletion
>>7772260
Have a 600k mortgage, 100k car note.
>I'm implying my own post
>>7772271
>A major element of hangovers is electrolyte depletion
Make this god damn meme stop.
It's primary due to inflammation
>>7772257
Yes, 750ml a day conservative. I buy 1.75L every other day. Been weening off the last couple months.
>>7772274
Nah. After three days of binge drinking I can: drink water and feel fucked up for days, or drink pedialyte and feel ok the next day.
>>7772286
I'm drunk, I somehow thought you said dehydration.....my bad
>>7772286
dont have that here
or i dont know if we do
>>7772235
Yeah, it's pretty good. Make sure to stir and don't drink too slowly, don't add a ridiculous amount either.
It's not something I would drink to get drunk though. Enough to feel pretty cozy.
>>7772304
Gatorade is not as good but better than water
>>7772304
You definitely would, or something similar.
>>7772274
At least personally, alcohol affects my blood sugar levels a ton. After a long bender I'll be getting some serious withdrawal anxiety and shakes, and simply eating a chocolate bar or some orange juice reduces the symptoms greatly
I quit my job this morning and haven't felt the need to drink at all. I really think that place was contributing to my drinking. I slept in and felt rested for the first time in months. Sure, I'm jobless now but I have my savings and I feel like a weight has been lifted.
>>7772003
Drink about [email protected]% beer daily, drink more on weekend, afraid to move up to the hard stuff, just need the BUZZ.
How bad am 4-5 years like this?

My sister became an alchy in her late teens
She said naltrexone is one of the best things she has ever taken since it has completely curbed the cravings for alcohol
>>7772089
That's because your body chemistry is influencing your brain, and your thought process, because you've become dependent, you dumb fuck.
Of COURSE you're going to crave that shit.
Knowing that should be enough to realize that you're just going to have to suck it up until you get clean and get control of your brain again.
I dont believe you op. I mean, I guess you could be very fat but that bottle a day shit just doesnt seem real.
>>7773423
>that bottle a day shit just doesnt seem real.
Not OP, but I've been drinking a bottle a day for 5 years.....it's fucking sad, pathetic....and very fuckign real
>>7773423
You must be 17 or really sheltered
I'm a disgusting person. I have a spot on the floor I vomit on sometimes. It's also covered in years of detritus. I woke up a few minutes ago with my face in it. The right side of my body hurts most of the time. I don't know if it's liver or kidney or just fucked up stomach, but it hurts to be alive right now. We drink because of emotional pain, but when the physical pain kicks in you wonder what the fuck you were thinking
>>7773423
When I'm drinking I can go through a handle (1.75 liters) a day. a fifth isn't even that much. you have to account for tolerance
> thought you were really bad with drinking
> mfw reading this thread
maybe things aren't too bad
>>7772067
Kidnapping
>>7773423
Don't believe me, do I care?
You don't have to be a fatass to drink a fifth a day. Site is 18+ BTW kiddo.
>>7772083
Some people think you magically change when you have kids, all your problems don't just go away.
>>7774080
They aren't that bad if you won't admit they are that bad.
can you guys recommend me some coffee drinks in the 20-40% range? just turned 21 and looking for some stuff to buy, had some real great coffee patron

How the fuck does someone even do this without dying?
>>7774934
You get a tolerance, mine started with rum
Good luck anon. What helped me out most was eating and drinking often. The urge to drink decreases with staying full. Some cardio while you're freaking out during the day helps too. A bottle of Valium would've helped big time in the evenings. Be ready for some gnarly dreams and anxiety. You'll get through it. Hope you do better than I did.

i have a family member who is a cook now in vegas
and we have a history of alcoholism
i'm also going to vegas in two weeks to visit some friends of mine out there
>>7772036
how did you find out? did the shit hit the fan or did you get away with it?
>>7772055
This. Harm reduction works better. AAs failure rate is WORSE than quitting on your own, and once they convince you that you're 'powerless' your inevitable relapses will become much more severe and dangerous.
>>7772099
wait, what? You're detoxing and you collapsed?
Can I have more details please?
A friend of a friend had this happen and I found it hard to believe. That is, I couldn't think of a reason why you'd collapse from that.
>>7772003
im close to a fifth now. been going at it for maybe 2 years. i wish i had AA or some friends to help me, but there is no AA within 40 minutes of me and i dont have friends. im thinking suicide might be the most logical answer once everything crumbles to the worst.
its weird because ive lead myself to thinking that suicide is a good and peaceful answer even though i know most everyone else would think its waaaay to irrational. and no god and no purpose makes me talking myself out of it makes it hard. owell
>>7772003
read infinite jest
>>7775255
Different shit works for different people. I had to go to AA because of a dui and while i didn't stop drinking it was kind of fun and i could see how it helped some of the people. Some people are just lonely, sad, and depressed and AA basically assigns you a friend. For me it was just kind of amusing listening to all the sad fucking stories. That alone made me want to straighten my life out some. tldr aa is a social activity that doesn't involve alcohol. A lot of people that drink a lot don't experience that much as adults.
Why don't you just smoke weed fuckin idiots
>>7772003
Been clean for about few month now, but my back hurts really bad and my life just went downhill overall. I think this shit takes me down. Went to a bar yesterday, was brought back home by some strangers since I was drunk af. Hadn't have such a night in years, but still don't regret a thing. Fml right now.

But that tome is over verbose to the point of pretentiousness.
Maybe I should pick it up again, but I only made it through about three chapters before deciding that it was a lit professor's circle jerk.
>>7775558
Because the drug affects people differently?
I don't like the high, it puts me in my own head too much and I cannot interact with the outside world, which compounds the problem. The booze started as a "cure" for my social anxiety. That and it is an illegal drug. Try going to a ballgame and lighting up a joint.
>>7775564
>Try going to a ballgame and lighting up a joint.
that's why edibles exist my man. or you could always smoke in the parking lot before entering.

>>7772003
I like wine, but I need to manage my food intake during the day and then start drinking around 4:30 to get to the high I want. Tonight I had one glass and gave up on the idea. Not in the right mood. Which is even more annoying that just being sober.

Can someone explain what a "fifth of a whiskey" is?
>>7775846
oh yea google is down over here too
>>7775847
Google tells me a fifth is some retarded American measurement that has been superseded by a 750ml bottle
Drank a fifth of vodka straight today, been doing while working and hiding it well. Don't see why you have to stop if you are winning at life while you're doing it.
>>7772003
I drank a lot last night fell down and woke up in the hospital. I'm worried I'm going to pay out the ass to have them tell me that everything was alright.
>>7775851
oh yes it's clearly less retarded to say "seven hundred and fifty milligrams" than "fifth"
>>7772048
When I was in primary school I gradually ate two pencils and one pencil grip
I see no problem here.
>>7775004
Try to stop for a week/a month as a test
>>7775893
Why wouldn't you just say "a whole bottle"?
>>7775893
>milligrams
>being fucking retarded and confusing weight and volume
No wonder your shit brain needs simple words like "bottle"
>>7775893
The term for a standard sized bottle is "bottle."
>>7775936
Because bottles can range from a pint to 1.75 liters or more?
Stopped 9 days ago. Relapsed after 2.5 years dry as a bone. Looking back, those were the best years I've had yet. Still sussing out how it got this bad again (other than the fact I'm an alcoholic), but what I can say to those that want to quit and stay sober is this:
>go to rehab if you need to, but honestly if you don't absolutely need it it's important to try and quit on your own steam
>go to AA. do 90 meetings in 90 days.
>get a sponsor as soon as possible
>start working the steps as soon as possible
The next level? Keep going to AA. Keep working the steps. Rework them. Rinse. Repeat.
I want to be one of those old timers that wakes up one day and can't believe how good life is compared to how it was decades before.
Good luck bros. Pray for me and my recovery. I'll pray for you as well.
Been drunk for about 5 straight days, probably gonna start going through withdrawals at work tomorrow and it's gonna suck ass
I'm drunk idk what I'm doing right now .I'm somewhere on earth alive.

This. Autists can't pick up on contextual clues, and the American population is more or less 100% autistic.

This
I keep thinking about how early I can reasonably start up during my days off but after working a ton all day I piss around enough when I get home lighting the fire, shower, making dinner, internet etc that I convince myself it's too late to give myself a hangover and sleep is far more tempting
just smoke weed
i can spend $30 and get high at least 25 times off weed without any morning regret, whereas I can get drunk for a night or two off that amount of booze.
>>7775976
I would, but I don't know anyone who sells it and can't get it medicinally in my state, sucks ass. When I have weed I hardly drink at all, but when I don't I go full alcohol mode
>>7775976
It doesn't have to be either/or, boyo. Reach for the stars.
I bought the biggest bottle of Sky vodka. I wanted to see how long it would take me to become an alcoholic.
>>7776077
That's how I got started. I was sad one day a few years ago and got a big bottle of vodka, drank half of it in one guzzle, cried for a bit, went to the toilet and vomited most of it up, drank the rest of the bottle in another guzzle, fell asleep on the floor for about twelve hours, and woke up feeling more at peace than I ever had in my entire life. Ever since then I've been chasing that feeling of peace, but have never replicated it.
I can't even remember what I was sad about.
>>7776003
I love how magical you make it sound. Like weed and beer is the secret door between real life and a Disney movie.

>Been drinking a fifth of whiskey a day for the last 6 years.
pls stop brother.
My dad did this (albeit with vodka) and died of colon cancer on account of it.
I hope you have luck in stopping.
>How is life treating you shitbags?
I cycle through moderate alcoholism constantly. Cheap malt liquor is my poison. Too available...I quit for a good while, but I've been intoxicated for the past month in any moment that I'm not working.
It's making me a lazy disheveled wreck, drinking everyday, and embarrasses me as a /k/ommando, as I cannot legally carry for most of my time.
>>7772048
wood eater here:
no it doesn't. wood tastes better. the alcohol ruins it.
>>7772126
AA can work, but only if you're devoutly religious...
Everytime I go long periods without alcohol, it's because I'm on a theology bender acting like the second coming of Thomas Aquinas.
You're right though: it's 30s tier trash.
>>7775846
1/5 of a gallon.
It's a measure that's just irritatingly over a 750ml bottle (something like 753.xxxxx or something).
>>7776729
Post your thesis
>>7776739
provide me 3 arguments for the benefits of AA, and I'll make up a nice pretty scholastic dialectic for you.
>>7776729
AA is about accepting a high power (of your understanding) greater than yourself. It has nothing to do with religion.
>>7776756
Do you need me to point out why you post is stupid, or can you figure it out on your own?
>>7776756
>a high power (of your understanding) greater than yourself.
Then you're either quitting drinking because you acknowledge that your boss makes more money than you, or it's a paltry way of hiding what all men call god in the program.
>>7776761
A higher power != religion
>>7776756
That sounds like you just described religion. Or at least some form of worship. Why the fuck do you have to accept a "high power" to get off of a drug? It's one way, but it's definitely not the only way, and the way that AA tends to (not always, but tends to) twist your arm into doing it (and offering Big J as a convenient choice if you can't think of one off the top of your head) is pretty shitty.
>>7776764
name one religion that isn't about a higher power beyond our understanding
Yes, you can make a case for Buddhism, but it's also possible to make one against it
>>7776764
Quit being a semantic dickwad. That's BASICALLY religion. And if you start getting into "it's not religion, it's spiritual" bullshit, fuck you, that's religion.
I'm not trying to be some enlightened atheist here, I've got no problem with "accepting a higher power", stuff, but the thing is that's not one-size-fits-all: that philosophy works for some people, but not for others.
>>7776772
It's possible to believe in a higher power but not subscribe to a religion
I ran out of alcohol. The fear begins.
Question for you alcoholics. Why don't you just smoke some weed? You won't get a hangover, and you can't die of alcohol poisoning. Plus food tastes better and movies and television are more enjoyable
>>7772249
Multi vitamins to wade off that weinke korsakoff
>>7772125
My persistent health problems turned out to not be entirely alcohol related.
I haven't touched hard liquor in weeks but I drink wine because I refuse the pain meds.

One time I puked into a water glass at the bar, got up and walked to the bathroom for another couple of pukes. Walked back to the bar and left my money there with a tip and just walked out and lit up a cig.
>>7777138
>won't get a hangover
with strong weed you will, and when people start coming down from strong weed they can act pretty weird
>inhale burning plant, coating mouth in tar
>"food tastes better"
Yes, it's safer to abuse weed than to abuse alcohol. Neither are perfectly safe though, and in moderation alcohol is probably better.

Thanks for the support and I hope you feel better too.
My friend is coming over tonight to get me baked and force feed me tacos al pastor while we watch GoT season 1 and drink shriaz mixed with sprite on crushed ice.
Everyone ITT who says that drinking hard liquor is totally unacceptable is 100% correct.
My city is getting wine in our grocery stores next month.
It was nice knowing you liver. Now I don't gotta drive 30mins to the liquor store.
>>7773423
I felt that way too until I turned 21 and realized alcohol is always an option. Then it became always a solution.
[spoiler];-;[/spoiler]
I went from drinking 5 times a week down to 3 down to once a week over the past few months. I don't know what's changed in me, but I just haven't had the urge to drink as much. With that being said work sucks today and I might need a little cool down after work.
>>7774383
I usually brew coffee double strength and ice it. Add whole milk and simple syrup.
Or make iced venti Americanos at work and leave room for booze. Cool lime refreshers sub lemonade for water and room when I was younger and could stand the hangover.
>>7778071
That's great man, same thing happened to me. And work's been hell so drinking tonight as well.
>>7778057
I don't believe you live in a city if the nearest liquor store is 30 mins away.

Drinking now out of pure boredom
>>7775258
It was from the DTs. I didn't wean myself off slowly enough and the ER docs said I was lucky I didn't have a seizure. I collapsed from my heart beating irregularly, and hyperventilating. I don't remember much of what happened leading up to the collapse, but in the ambulance I was shaking, extremely dizzy, and couldn't slow my breathing no matter how hard I tried to relax. Detoxing from alcohol is no joke if you're an alcoholic.
>>7772388
Keep it up. Sometimes you just need a change.
>>7774945
You aren't kidding about the gnarly dreams. I've seen some Lovecraftian horrors. The worst ones, though, are when I fall off the wagon, and my family finds out. I always wake up crying and hating myself. Fuck my subconscious.
>>7778347
Damn son, how much per day and how long were you drinking for?
I seek out mids and popcorn and will pay above standard price if i'm please with the quality.
I'm also not too good to smoke schwag if it's decent and fresh.
The high grade shit just makes me freaky.

1.5L of 20% sherry every day for about a year, but I had been getting drunk every night on beer or liquor for an entire year before the switch, and getting drunk several times a week for several years before that. It's probably the long term use that caused it, but everyone's different.

How old are you man? Ive been drinking almost a 12 pack and maybe a pint of vodka 4 days a week and my kidneys and liver were just aching until I tapered down a bit. Do your organs hurt with all the whiskey every day?
I should of been fired from my job a long time ago, because in the past 6 months I've overslept by 4-5 hours three times which is a no call no show. Luckily my boss is lenient. But now I cant miss a day for a few months or I might get fired. Wouldnt be the first time my drinking got me fired from a job. I'm 32 if you wanted to know.
>>7775561
I tried a couple of times to read it. There are a couple of interesting chapters but sadly so much garbage around them
>>7775856

It gives you an opportunity to be around people that understand your problem
You can talk about your own or listen to theirs
You can have a sponsor and call them up for help
I see nothing wrong with any of this and if you add your own determination it can only help you be one of the 10% that succeeds
I drink 8-9 strong beers and a bottle or two of wine every day how bad am i

Realised that I have put on quite a lot of weight recently, so making the switch from beer to whisky.
Wonder how this will go. Snacking while drinking will need to be cut down too. Might mean I get drunk quicker though.
>>7778124
I live in the mountains so everything is down in the valley
>>7779935
Pretty bad senpai. You must have one hell of a tolerance to not vomit all over yourself daily. Try keeping it to the evenings and you might drink less.
>>7780102
>ive gained a lot of weight
>im still gonna eat and drink like shit
>i expect to lose weight
you will probably just keep gaining weight at a moderately slower rate than you were before
fatass
Day 3 after a long bender and the shakes are finally starting to stop. I hate withdrawals, I had some insanely scary sleep paralysis last night and thought I was having a DT seizure or something
>>7780198
It's not so bad if you have someone to cuddle with.
I wish I did.
>>7780224
If I had someone to cuddle with I don't think I'd be in this situation in the first place
How do you dudes drink so much hard liquor? I used to drink it a lot during college and it would just ravage my stomach
Now i just try to keep it to 1-2 beers at most, hard liquor and myself did not get along
>>7780269
What the fuck is gay about cuddling, you moron. Have you never cuddled with a cute girl?
>>7780102
Or it's ascites
>>7780268
People are just made differently, there's really no rhyme or reason. It can go any number of ways.
how do I stop drinking every night
>>7780268
Practice, son, practice. It's a marathon not a race.
>>7780281
>ascites
If it is you should probably just kill yourself now, it isn't worth the discomfort and humiliation.
>>7780311
sprint I mean.
>>7780307
If it's exceedingly difficult to taper town you can talk to a psychiatrist and see what options you have. I would say don't waste your time with a psychologist, ever.
>>7776097
All those shit for brains faggots make it sound like that.
None of them will ever understand how terrible weed can be for people with different constitutions than their own.
>>7773423
I weigh 105 lbs and can finish a handle by myself in 2 days. It's called tolerance.
>>7775976
but weed gives me horrible panic attacks
>>7773423
Bottle a day is definitely real and theres people who do it daily all over the world. People do more than that daily and it's not rare. You just haven't read up on it yet.
>>7780311
I turn into an asshole when i drink liquor. I had to stop
On day 2 of my home detox currently on 20mg chlordiazepoxide 4x a day.They are hoping to wean me off it over the week. I also get breathalysed everyday. I'm starting on antabuse after that. Feel like shit at the moment but it should get better.
>>7772003
why do you stick to a single mediocre substance like alcohol instead of changing it everyday? e.g. rotating alcohol. codeine, xanax , and weed. this way you can be fucked up every day and not get addicted
>>7780685
I don't think you quite comprehend how addiction works.
>>7780685
>not doing all of them at the same time
>>7780690
I'm not talking about addiction, I'm talking about preventing one while still feeling great all the time. of course it won't work, if someone is already addicted and gets seizures if he stops drinking for a day
>>7780707
If we weren't already addicted to alcohol we wouldn't be here right now.
>>7780715
a lot of people here get fucked up everyday, but still don't have withdrawal symptoms if they stop for some time
I just switched over from drinking copious amounts of beer every night to vodka.
350ml last night.
How fucked am I?
Is this a sign that I should slow down or stop?
HALP!
Didn't seem so bad when it was just beer, hopefully I'll lose some weight : /
>>7780351
are you a fellow grill?
Only thing I've drank in the last two weeks or so has been some beers at the football and then a beer with a sandwich after the football.
I'm quitting hard liquor. Might buy some a six pack of beer on the weekend but that is it.
>>7774343
They will for me because I'm totally above all other human beings, duh.
>>7780121
I only drink after 5. I barely feel drunk either
im not as bad as most of you but im blacked out most weekends, my friends and family are making comments, its a tuesday and im about 8-10 deep
Been sober for just over a month now. Quit drinking to completely focus on classes, as well as lose weight. Was drinking about a fifth every two days.
Its been a lot easier than I thought it would be.Life is kind of just boring now, but I have so much more energy it's ridiculous.
>>7781656
I drank a 350ml bottle of whisky last night: I buy a small bottle like that because I drink whatever I buy that night
It's not a huge amount to drink but pretty harmful if you do it everyday
>>7772003
Two weeks sober. After finally dealing with ibs and just feeling like shit, I finally broke down and want to the doctor. I have some low grade anti anxiety meds that are supposed to help, but I still feel like shit. Wish I could grab a decent nights sleep, but I just toss and turn. Miss it so much and if I'm not depressed I'm just so bored. Doctor told me that I should expect about six months of this, joy. Its like I can see a relapse in sight.
Part of me wants to continue to get fucked up every night, but part of me wants to get clean and sober. I just want to know how long until I feel normal again and find things interesting or is my brain ruined forever?
>>7782122
your brain is ruined forever
but I've honestly just started to have crazy health problems that will end in my death and I promise you will regret it. I spent my life wanting to die and when it actually starts to happen it fucking sucks, My pancreas and liver are both insanely fucked
>>7782095
That's where willpower comes into play. I assume you have a job, which will occupy you throughout the day. Take your supps, eat right, and after work go for a jog and hit the weights. You don't have anything better to do anyway.
Then try to find a hobby that you enjoyed before drinking. I personally enjoy cooking (duh), guns, and sketches. Find something that is either artistic or craftsmanlike, so you can focus. You never know, you can make a profit off it some day.
My friend who I consider the luckiest fucker I know was into quad-rotor RC helicopters. He was hired by a southern power plant company which hires him to fly up with a camera and document any fractures or other issues. Now he's going on the daily show for his other hobby, claw machines, for posting a youtube video of him getting six prizes in one go. I personally don't enjoy either of these hobbies and find them kind of asinine, but obviously others don't. Point being, go do something quasi productive, as we all know drinking is not even remotely.
>>7782095
have you tried benadryl or an OTC sleep aid with diphenhydramine? That's one of the only things that can help me sleep while going through withdrawals
The worst part about sobriety is everyone stepping on eggshells trying not to drink around you
>>7782197
that is definitely not the worst part bro
>>7776768
The way it was explained to me is that it's about accepting you're not in control all the time. Mostly it's to guilt people into being religious though.
>>7780685
Don't know where to get any of that other stuff.
Alcohol tastes good and is readily available and not too expensive.
Almost 1.30pm and I have opened a beer and poured a dram.
Feels good to not have a damn thing to do for the rest of the day / week so I can sit and chill all day with a nice buzz.
Next question will be whether I am sensible and maintain it, or go completely overboard and get shitfaced.
Anyone else drinking fairly early?
I love drinking but I only have time to get blind drunk on a Saturday. I pretty much have to stay sober the rest of the week because of my job.
How do you faggots have so much free time that you can sit at home for an entire week and do nothing but drink?
>>7783052
I'm a "mature" student (24) so I am off from May until September. I keep it reasonably sensible during term time with a few beers or so a night but over summer I can do whatever the hell I want which is pretty good.
Worked full time for a few years before coming to uni so I know what you mean, I would only be able to drink twice a week at the most.
Got a couple of years of the easy life left then back to living sensibly.
Normally I'll consume a handle of cheap whiskey every week. Been drinking a 12pk of Mexican beer instead for the past 4 days.
Feels bretty good man. Just woke up, no headache, body doesn't feel tired, not bloated, and my stomach isn't killing me like normal. Hopefully if I keep this run going long enough I can climb out of this enough to apply to school.
>>7782197
the worst part of sobriety is being sober and I'm not even an alcoholic.
Why am I feeling like I am living in a dream? Haven't had a drink since Monday,OP here.
Seems everything today has already happened before, even this comment.
>>7784375
It's called derealization and it's common for people who drink a lot. I get a lot of de ja vu like you do. I also look down at my hands and realise o feel somewhat out of body, like a mild mushroom trip. It goes away when you drink, or if you abstain for a good few weeks.
>>7783029
When I have days off I tell myself I'll just drink beers throughout the day to keep a nice buzz, but I always end up having way too much and blacking out/passing out in early afternoon
>>7784734
Damn, thanks for that anon...thought I was losing my mind all day.
>>7784774
Going through it right now, needing a drink to male the nausea go away....trying to power through though.
Movies seem to make the feeling worse.
>>7772003
I was drinking 2 bottles of whiskey a day. Have bean hospitalized 2 times with severe alcohol poisoning. Almost bean 6 years in rehabilitation trying to regain my physical health. Lost my mind once due to alcohol triggered psychosis. Began reducing alcohol consumption about 1 year ago. Have bean completely sober 2 weeks - only using benzos to cope with nerve damage. Got this feeling that life will be OK from now on. Lots to live for. Great support from those around me. Quit drinking for the same reason I quit smoking, tastes like shit and makes me feel like shit. More pain to pleasure ratio.
>>7775943
Go fuck yourself.
>>7772003
>Been drinking a fifth of whiskey a day for the last 6 years.
How the fuck does someone even afford that?
>>7777138
It's not legal in my state. It's so much easier to go down to the corner liquor store. I usually bought weed through friends, also. So, I like being able to get something directly and cheaper.
I did actually have a Volcano for a few years, so, it would've been cheaper to stick with that, if I didn't occasionally get panic attacks and get drug-tested for work.
Did anyone who has been drinking since they were legal have their pee start smelling fishy in their late 20s? I'm starting to think I might have liver/kidney failure or diabetes.
>>7785671
You live in Canada or something? A fifth of liquor is seven bucks.
Anyone have luck with pet therapy?
>>7772003
I wish I could get into drinking, but I always end up distracted with other things. I haven't had a drop to drink since 2009.
Birthday is coming up and I have a nice bottle of red wine collecting dust. Might break it out, make Angel Food Cake and solobrate my birth.
Any of you watch this? Not a bad movie about the founding of AA.
>>7785835
Did you really just say"solobrate"? Have some dignity for fuck's sake.
Parents are gone, friends have moved on, no brothers or sisters. Solobrate is the perfect description.
>>7785867
Suck it up, pussy. I'm in the same boat. How old are you? Where do you live?
>get two teeth removed this morning for adult braces that are going to cost me 7 grand
>come home and hit the bottle after even though I'm supposed to stay hydrated
Holy fucking hell I'm retarded and my face hurts. Why. WHY DO I DO THIS.
>>7773207
you should be ok for at least 15-18 years more
>>7784816
Good job anon
>>7773207
As long as you exercise occasionally and eat healthy you're decent
Source: gained and lost 30 pounds because of beer
>>7777138
Weed just makes me thirsty. At least alcohol makes me happy while dehydrating me
>>7775561
Give it another go and try to take what you see as over-verbosity and see it through the eyes of someone paralysingly worried that he'd be misunderstood, thats why his choice of words is so exact and descriptions can go on and on. It's a sober paranoia from someone that knows drunken paranoia. I may have missed a shitload oblique stuff the first time I read it, but the addiction themes are fucking spot on.

>>7775259
Right there with you brother
>>7775779
There's a wrong mood for drinking?
>>7785704
Where do you live? In Florida it's 17 for mid-range shit.
